I went hiking with my family in Hawaii, and we came across the rusty carcass of an old car next to the trail, sitting upright without any indication of damage from an accident. Even though all that remained were the chassis, engine, and tires, what was left seemed to be in relatively pristine condition, slowly being reclaimed by the forest. Also, if you go hiking without any friends, make friends with a ghost!

That's absolutely wild that lightning did all that

I've heard this story before. That 2nd tunnel you mentioned in the video is the Cascade Tunnel, the longest railroad tunnel in the United States at 7.8 Miles long. Today it has a ventilation system that blows out all the exhaust every time a train passes through. The eastern portal for the tunnel even has a door to keep the airflow moving west.

I've been to both portals of the old cascade tunnel and the site of the town of Wellington. It was spooky af, especially with the sun going behind the mountain and no one else being there on the overgrown, abandoned line, with a massive concrete snowshed where the avalanche happened. there was a very spooky air about the place. Makes me shiver even now

I love this series so much! It’s so interesting learning about all of these ghost story’s and legends, to bad it’ll end in November.

Woah, 3.4 meters of snow... that's some serious snow that is! Thank you for translating into metric measurements, I'm always lost when everything is just in feet and miles.

I think I read about that accident in a book several times back in my freshmen year, but hearing that there are spirits lurking about in the area made it even scarier.

Once you're done with the spooky stories, I think the second Cascade Tunnel and the history behind it (opened 1929, partly due to this avalanche) would make for a good video.

Even over a century ago people were saying “I don’t get paid enough to do this shit.” Who would have thought there was something in common with us today and people back then.

This just goes to show the power of lightning and avalanches. Also, would go there once after dark but it would just be one time.

great ghost story 👍👻😮

I have known about The Wellington Disaster and The Ghost Stories add to the interesting parts of it’s history !

I imagine that the ghosts are those of the passengers who wanted the train moved into the tunnel, as if that happened, they would be fine.

I find it funny that this happened just a few hours from where I live and it hardly snows here

Now THAT was creepy!

This is a good one! 👍🎃

0;25 Nawh now thats just creepy THOSE TREES

Yes

Snow storms, wind and rain with a hint of lightning storm... and a wildfire... You couldn't make it up!

Missed opportunity on mentioning the Rogers Pass Avalanche. That happened a mere three days after this.

I read an I Survived book like a month ago about this very accident, and i had got it at a book fair lol

Not decimated that would be 10% the depo was devastated

What an incredible story of the deadliest avalanche in US history! I find it odd I never knew about this before today. It really must’ve been a tragedy because there is that picture of the remains of a rotary snowplow sticking out of the snow.

The Channel History in the Dark did a video about the rail disaster.

I think this reminds me of the Thomas and friends episode, where Thomas got stuck in the snow, but if that episode would be realistic adaptation to this reference.

when i was walking the iron goat trail last summer all of a sudden when i was looking at all the random stuff stuff that was still there i heard the god awful screech of twisting metal and trees breaking so i ducked out of the way but when i looked back nothing was there.

There's the remains of a locomotives cylinder still at the site I believe.

oh its the less cool great northern railway....

I would actually like to go there and just get a piece of an old steam locomotive

Hearing "Mail and Passenger" kept making me think it was "Male and Passenger" Passenger coaches were typically female in T&F so i guess you could call them "Male and Female" trains. :P

You included 61 of the 96 deaths

Train train

Well I'm going camping on the iron goat trail why how about why not

It missed the hotel Yet Removed the whole train and yard pov a worker waking up Awhhhh Huh wheres the fucking depot *looks down* Oh fuck/shit

Who's trying to go ghost hunting with me?

the land's revenge for the colonials
